That evening and the early part Of the

the points OF interest about the town and
neighbOrhood, and making the acquaintance
of the large-heAFted and progressive people
who had given them such a hearty welcome.
And while we ourselves felt deeply gratiied
at the kind reception given US, we could not
repress the feeling that we, too, had share,
rs il were, in the spontaneous tribute &C
corded BY all to Lake Charles hospitality;
for Is not Lake Charles the child OF st.
Landry Was not Lake Charles built up In
large part by 81. Landry push and energy
and ST. Landry Drawn and muscle? Looking
around us, we saw among the former resi-
dents OF Opelousas, John Mccormick,
whose trumpet-iOned "COEHEaereigl. y ming

The success of tie meeting may be attri-
butad, in o great measure, to the generous

Leesburg in Cameron parish.
Sixty odd members were present, repre-

view It will do great good to the newspaper
interest of Louisiana II is the custom Of
the Association to mingle pleasure with

Lake Charles mapped out q programme
which far surpassed anything known before
In the history of our organization,
Lake Charles has now population OF

In we'll regulated town, not forgetting a
wide awake kind, intelligent and hOspitable
people, with hearts as large as their BIZ

e0ngenial TO their taste and desire, have
sought and are seeking, the fertile prairies
of Calcasieu and the pleasant, healthy homes
Of Lake Charles.

The programme announced was carried
out almost 20 the letter. hut we regret that
we have no space for the addresses. How
ever, we cannot omit to mention that the
royal entertainment given their guests for
four days, by the citizens of Lake Charles
surpassed anything We ever heard of before
in Louisiana or elsewhere. A town which
shows such remarkable public spirit and c
people who thus stop all their own business
to make pleasant the visit of their guests
certainly possess the metal to build city OF
magnitude and renoRn. The warm hearts
there met show how worthy Of success arc
their people and the good words being
spoken Of them by all we hope will eventu
ate in good.

THE SPRING MONTHS

Are undoubtedly the best in which
to purify the blood and strengthen
the system, because at this time the
body is most susceptible to the ben
eicial effects of a reliable medicine
like Hoods Sarsparilla. The feel
ing of debility, languor, and lassi-
tude, caused by the changing sea-
son, is entirely overcome, and sorof-
ula and all humors are expelled
from the blhod by the powerful re-
viving and purifying influences of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Do not delay.

THE TRIBUNE.
THE ELECTIONS.


The municipal elections held last
Tuesday in various eastern cities
were mostly contests between a silk
stocking fusion of Republicans and
Democrats, and the United Labor
party. The result in Cincinnati
gave the Republican candidate for
Mayor 1868 votes; Labor, 1900;
Democratic, 1000. In Chicago
the Democrats made no nomination
but those that voted put in their
ballots for Roche, the Republican
candidate, who received $4,000 ma
jority over Nelson, Labor, out of
total vote of $4,000. In Milwaukee
the Labor candidate received a ma
.jority over the fusion, but the sub
,urbs reversed it. Sad indeed, is
the spectacle of the two forces Of
capital and labor arrayed against
each other. Another irrcpressiblc
conflict is on with wealth, learning
and intelligence blindly combating
.God-given rights.
In Michigan prohibition was the
issue, but the result is doubtful.
In Kansas thousands of women
went to the polls claiming the
right to vote at municipal elections;
their ballots were taken in some
places and refused in others.
